Benefits of technology

"The patent describes an eye drop solution that contains a drug called ketotifen salt and a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. The solution also contains other substances that help stabilize the ketotifen salt and prevent it from being oxidized by the hydrogen peroxide. The solution is meant to help treat and prevent allergic conjunctivitis, a common eye condition. The technical effect of this solution is to provide a more effective treatment for allergic conjunctivitis that helps stabilize the ketotifen salt and prevent it from oxidizing."

Problems solved by technology

Many chemical or drug substances are not compatible with hydrogen peroxide, i.e., are susceptible to chemical oxidation by hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract

Ophthalmic compositions comprising ketotifen and a source of hydrogen peroxide providing an amount of hydrogen peroxide of from about 0.001 to about 0.1% (w / v) of hydrogen peroxide, and methods for the treatment and prevention of allergic conjunctivitis using these compositions are provided herein.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to ophthalmic compositions comprising ketotifen as a pharmaceutically active agent and a source of hydrogen peroxide as a preservative for use in treating allergic conjunctivitis. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,725,887 (the '887 patent) and 5,607,698, and application Ser. No. 11 / 078,209, all of which are expressly incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, disclose and claim methods for the preservation of ophthalmic solutions using stabilized hydrogen peroxide and compositions so preserved. However, hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidation agent. Many chemical or drug substances are not compatible with hydrogen peroxide, i.e., are susceptible to chemical oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. Ketotifen is a pharmaceutically active agent susceptible to chemical oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. While ketotifen is not compatible with low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide when formulated at neutral pH, i.e., a pH of about 7, it has now...
